With nearly five years of some of the best times of my life under my belt, I can't seem remember a time when I wasn't on this crazy Destructoid train. So this is going to be weird to type: as this month comes to a close, I ...

I'm in Utah this week, learning that being high up in the mountains means that I feel like I've run a marathon if I walk across the street. Pretty neat!
I'm here for Bethesda's BFG 2011 event, where we're being shown Prey 2,...

Thanks to everyone who listened to and gave feedback on the last episode. We recorded another test this week, the unofficial episode #2 of the "beta." I'm making it a bit easier to access now, so just go here:

About a month ago, the guy who signs my checks (that's Niero) said to me: "Hey, we need to get another podcast off the ground with the site's everyday, core writers. Get it done." He doesn't often demand I do things, so I f...

[Note: This is a first draft ramble about the process; I had originally intended to just dump my choices here and move on. So please forgive any errors or oddities.]
Little known fact: to choose the nominees for the VGAs, Sp...

So first off, Bethesda has the best fucking stamps. When they sent me a holiday card last December, the stamp had a picture of Vault Boy wearing a Santa Claus hat. Here's the stamp that was on the invite for the upcoming laun...

All right. It's about time I hunkered down and committed to this.
It always confused me that a gaming site as big as we are has almost no MMO representation. I know there is some of you that play. In fact, it seems like Br...

Just a quicky update. Since Destructoid has been expanding it's video content, I figured it was only fair to expand the video/podcast section of the forums as well.
I've added two new sections
Rev Rants
Still got more ...

Doing an email Q&A for a story on Bowser's Inside Story with Nate Bhildorff, the game’s localization producer.
If anyone has anything they'd like answered, let me know! I intend on shooting Nintendo the questions shortly.

I'll be speaking with Gearbox Software's CEO Randy Pitchford today about the developers upcoming title Borderlands, among other things industry- and gaming-related.
Before I do, I wanted to see if you guys had any specific ...

it's time to meet the Forum on the Forum Show tonight.
It's time to put on makeup
It's time to dress up right
It's time to raise the curtain on the Forum Show tonight.
Why do we always come here

My wife knows my odd fascination with curious energy drinks; my favorite (at least as far as an oddity is concerned) would the "The Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart drink I found in a liquor store once.
So know that when she ...

I made you some new forums. I hope you enjoy them!

Niero, thank you for letting me have the forums. It means a lot to me that you would let me have this responsibility.
Destructoid, thank you guys for being the best goddamn game site on the web. 3 years down and lets hope a billion more to go.
<3 you guys and I'll see yall at PAX

So for the past month or so, I’ve been working on a new style for the forums. I figured the anniversary would be the perfect time to unveil it along with some other new tidbits of Forum funtime.
Before I get into that, this...

This is so exciting!

Look, I respect the idea of LAN parties, so don't get me wrong. But thank god for the Internet. The picture above is the ridiculous nonsense my wife and I rigged up so we could play Resident Evil 5 cooperatively on two scre...

This is a good question. Let me check the letter I received two weeks ago when Capcom sent me final review builds of the game. What's this? "Any online review coverage from this build is embargoed until the release of Street ...

Sony held a little event recently where they showed some press God of War III, and I was there for Destructoid. Unfortunately, I'm gagged until Friday, so I can't reveal any details yet. Fortunately (or unfortunately), the in...

Some of these might be interesting, most of em will probably be whiney and emo. So read with caution.

1. I met my wife at a karaoke prom (I was voted prom king!). We were both drunk, and she approached me. I hardly remembered it the next day.
2. I play games other than Rock Band.
3. I have three cats that I obsessively spo...
